The development of social skills in primary school children is a crucial component of modern education, aimed at preparing individuals for effective participation in society. Despite the growing focus on cognitive development, the role of interactive methods in shaping interpersonal competencies remains underexplored. This study addresses the gap by theoretically analyzing pedagogical and psychological foundations and evaluating interactive strategies such as games, role-playing, and group discussions for fostering social engagement in early education. Using theoretical analysis as the primary method, the study identifies effective techniques and outlines their implementation in classroom settings. Findings indicate that interactive methods significantly enhance communication, teamwork, empathy, and problem-solving among students. The results highlight the importance of individualized and participatory approaches in promoting meaningful social development. These insights have implications for curriculum design, teacher training, and policy reforms aimed at integrating social-emotional learning into the core of primary education.
